This song has a weird feel to it, because it is in 6/4 time signature. The beat is very similar throughout the song, so once you get it, it shouldn’t be too difficult. Watch out for the Chorus, it has a half time feel to it.

This is a surprisingly challenging for a pop rock song. There are a lot of punch lines, and fills that change constantly. The drummer for this song had a lot of crashes, so be creative with which crash you use.

In the recording, Paul McCartney played with his guitar in Standard D Tuning (D,G,C,F,A,D) , but in his performances with the Beatles, they played it in Standard E Tuning. This song is played in a fingerpicking style where your thumb plays the bass note of every chord and your fingers play the other strings, mainly the 4th, 3rd and 2nd strings.
At the end of the song, Paul plays the D8, C#8 and C8 in a C chord shape and alternates with an open G string. It’s a little bit like in Blackbird.

This song requires very heavy distortion to recreate the sound. Watch out for the rhythm, the measure of 2/4 and the D.S on measure 12 that takes you back to measure 1. The tuning for this song is Drop C# which means that your guitar is tuned a half step down lower than standard tuning and your 6th string is a C# (Db).

This song is quite fun to play, because it sounds simple, but it’s intricate in its on way. The octave chords G#8, F#8 and E8 are played on the A string with the open B string ringing. During the verse, there are some variations of the E chord with an Esus4 (add6), but it is not essential to the song.

This song is interesting to me, because the chorus is quieter than the verse, which is very unusual in a song, but it works great in this one. Watch out for the D.C which will take you back to the beginning of the song with the repeats.
